Speaking at the program, President Asmalı said that the transportation and logistics sector is important for the development of the world economy and international trade. Stating that the supply chain processes are managed in the most effective way, Asmalı stated that the country is on its way to becoming the most preferred logistics center, especially in the logistics sector, both in far and near geographies. Pointing to the importance of Turkey's geopolitical position, MUSIAD Chairman Asmalı said, “Transportation and logistics capabilities have been added to the determining factors for production bases. In this context, Turkey, at the intersection of three continents and at a crossroads on the route between world economic centers and raw material resources, aims to gain the highest level of economic and political gain from the potential offered by its geopolitical position. We are increasing our power in global trade on alternative routes.”
Explaining that carbon emission is defined as one of the most important elements of global warming, Asmalı said:
“It is unthinkable for Turkey, which has the largest fleet in Europe, to ignore green logistics practices. In the logistics process, there are also environmental practices in the services provided besides transportation. Among these practices are the efforts to consume the electricity, water and natural gas used in the warehouses more economically, obtaining some of the electricity used from solar energy, making the warehouse suitable for more use of daylight, and preventing unnecessary electricity use in the warehouse.
Stating that as MUSIAD, they will continue to sign new cooperations that will encourage Turkey to be one of the most preferred logistics centers in both near and far geographies, Asmalı said: It is our greatest wish that our country, which has turned into an international corridor in every mode, has a logistics network that is pointed out in foreign trade. We wholeheartedly believe that we will reach our export target of 300 billion dollars as soon as possible, with the support of our producers and industrialists, who produce alternative solutions in order not to disrupt production and exports against intense demand.” made its assessment.
After the opening speech, the program continued with the panels "Nationalization and Transit Trade in Supply Chains" and "Coordination in Logistics and Qualified Logistics".
